NAPALM - "1984-1986" LP - SOLD OUT
Only a few copies available, first come first served.
"SOLID BLACK VINYL LIMITED TO 300 COPIES.
Hailing from Sapporo City, Japan, NAPALM stands as one of the oldest and rawest Hardcore bands ever spawned from that area. For the time they started they were incredibly fast, furious and aggressive. This is a typical case of undiscovered HC treasure and we are honoured to make it available on vinyl for the very first time, in a super deluxe edition with hardbound case-wrapped cover (taking inspiration from the legendary Selfish Records LPs!), extra OBI strip and insert loaded with photos, original cassette artworks and liner notes. They used to describe themselves as "JAPANESE AUTHENTIC HARDCORE PUNK", their sound was an insanely distorted yet powerful wall of noisy HC.. even if from different areas - they can remind stuff like KURO, GAI, L.S.D. and 1982-84 era THE COMES.
More infos straight from the record's insert:
the band sprinkled the noise and speed of angry Hardcore waves starting in 1983 and becoming one of the earliest Hardcore Punk bands that came from Sapporo City. They were active until 1986. As reported on a previous cassette version: the live tracks included here were recorded at a show they played, on that show the crowd was so frightened and paralized by fear that one person fainted, so those tracks can be considered NAPALM's "masterpiece" and memories. This LP collects all the band's existing recordings starting from the classic "Detestable deed" demo (all songs are included here except a long spoken outro at the end of A-side on the cassette), the ultra-rare "Sapporo Punk Omnibus" comp. trax and the above mentioned live footage."
